1 Surveillance in Canadian Airspace Today and in the Future Jeff Dawson Director, Standards and Procedures, NAV CANADA ATM Global, Dubai UAE - 5 October 2015

2 Outline NAV CANADA Overview Evolution of Canadian ATS Surveillance Wide Area Multilateration Ground-Based ADS-B Space-Based ADS-B North Atlantic SB ADS-B Global Flight Tracking

3 NAV CANADA OVERVIEW

4 About NAV CANADA Private, non-share capital company 2nd largest ANSP in the world 12 million aircraft movements annually 18 million square km of airspace Regulated by Federal Government on safety performance

5 Our People 4,600 employees across the country Air Traffic Controllers Flight Service Specialists Electronics Technologists Engineering and IM Corporate Functions

6 Our Services Air Traffic Control Flight Information Weather Briefings Aeronautical Information Airport Advisory Services Electronic Navigation Aids

7 Our Mission Statement NAV CANADA facilitates the safe movement of aircraft, efficiently and cost effectively, through the provision of air navigation services on a long-term, sustainable basis.

8 Canadian Airspace Characteristics Vast distances Climate varies from polar to temperate Crossroads of global air traffic flows Busiest oceanic airspace in the world Unique northern airspace operations Stimulus for innovation

9 7 Area Control Centres

10 41 Air Traffic Control Towers

11 55 Flight Service Stations

12 8 Flight Information Centres

13 51 Community Aerodrome Radio Stations

14 33 Maintenance Centres

16 Technology Progress Investment $2 billion in new technology and facilities since 1996.

17 EVOLUTION OF CANADIAN ATS SURVEILLANCE

18 Primary Surveillance Radar

19 Surveillance 1996

20 North Warning System Eastern portion of Canadian North Labrador coast and southern Baffin Island Immediate benefits in Gander Domestic and Oceanic airspace

21 Northern Radar Program 2004

22 Automatic Dependant Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Supports radar-like separation A fraction of installed cost Preferred routes, reductions in fuel consumption & GHG emissions Hudson Bay implemented January 2009 North East Coast-Greenland:

23 Hudson Bay ADS-B 2009

24 East Coast/Oceanic ADS-B

25 Northern Warning Radar

26 WIDE AREA MULTILATERATION

27 Multilateration Tracks /identifies transponderequipped targets Capacity, efficiency and safety improvements Installation: Vancouver Harbour; Fort St. John; Montreal, Toronto, and Calgary Airports, Lower Mainland Vancouver, Whistler Corridor for 2010 Olympic Games

28 GROUND-BASED ADS-B

29 Extended Coverage A flight through Canadian ADS-B coverage (Greenland, East Coast, Hudson s Bay) could traverse approximately 3,300 kilometers of ADS-B surveillance

30 Going Forward Planning for progressive use of 1090 MHz ADS-B Out Plan for the mandatory use of ADS-B in designated airspace Continued plan for mandatory use of ADS-B in designated airspace Contingency capability

31 SPACE-BASED ADS-B

32 Global ATS Surveillance Goal: Provide operational benefits through the reduction of aircraft separation minima using Aireon ADS-B (out) via global Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites

33 A Transformative Solution

34 Constellation of 66 LEO Satellites

35 Avionics 125 Watt Transponder or better Any 260 series transponder Top mounted antenna same as ACAS

36 Real Benefits Update interval of 8 seconds 95% or better Space-Based ADS-B is ATS surveillance Real-time, global surveillance Improved situational awareness Improved conflict detection More flexibility in routings and altitudes Significant fuel and Green House Gas emissions savings Global aircraft tracking

37 Seamless ATS Surveillance and Services

38 ANSP Considerations Communications capability Mixed mode or mandatory equipage ATM automation Track display Conflict prediction

39 NORTH ATLANTIC SB ADS-B

40 Planned Implementation Starting with 15NM longitudinal Moving to 15NM lateral Then 15NM center to center OTS vs UPR Real time weather adjustments Real time ride adjustments Full use of avionics technology (cost index flying)

41 Complementary Initiatives Reduced Longitudinal Separation Minima (RLongSM) in Gander and Shanwick OCAs began March 21, 2011 Reduced Lateral Separation Minima (RLatSM) Phase 1 in November this year (AIC 18/15) 23 NM minimum supporting ½ degree separation finalized Expected PANS-ATM applicability November 2016 RLatSM Phases 2 and 3 to be determined

42 GLOBAL FLIGHT TRACKING

43 ALERT Service Aircraft Locating and Emergency Response Tracking Service available free-of-charge Location and last flight track of missing ADS-B-equipped aircraft accessed by Rescue agencies and Air Navigation Service Providers
